To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN F. Con, a citizen of the United States, residing at Raleigh, in the county of Wake and State of North Carolina, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Paint Compounds, of Which-the following is a specification.

My invention is an improved paint and consists of the ingredients substantially in the proportions hereinafter specified.

In making my improved paint I employ oil and tar 50 gal., Princes metallic (oxid of iron, hematite ore) 350 1b., gloss oil 5 gal., Japan drier 7 gal.

The gloss oil is a rosin oil which is made by the distillation of rosin by itself, and is one of the best adhesives known, and gives a rich gloss to the paint when dry. The Princes metallic gives body and solidity and color to the paint. The selection of this mineral is not by chance or for its color merely. In its present relation, its absorptive qualities are particularly adapted to the sometimes sticky somewhat viscous character of the other ingredients. It keeps them from running or moving until the paint has set. The oil of tar is the common gas tar produced at gas works and is a good preservative of wood, metal and other surfaces to which the paint is applied. The Japan drier causes the paint to dry rapidly and with a dry, smooth surface.

I find that the proportions are substantlally essential. Too much of any one of the lngredients will alter the balance of the compositlon and destroy or diminish the effectiveness. Thus too much oil of tar will make the paint sticky in the sun and runny;

too much of the filler or pigment (Princes Y metallic) will make it short and crumbly;

Having thus described my invention I claim:

The herein described paintv compound,

.40 too much of the gloss oil will make it brit consisting. substantially of the following:

oil of tar, fifty gallons, Princes metallic, three hundred and fifty pounds, gloss oil, five gallons, Japan drier, seven and one-half gallons.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afiiX my signature in thepresence of two witnesses.

JOHN F. con.
